New! Guide to the Southeast Aquatic Habitat Plan
The Southeast Aquatic Resource Partnership just released a guide to the Southeast Aquatic Habitat Plan. This publication describes a long-term, regional plan to restore and conserve aquatic habitats in the 14 states of the southeastern U.S. It is a task requiring cooperative action among every segment of the population from governments to individuals, from anglers and marina operators to home builders and city planners. The plan emphasizes utilizing science-based data, setting strategic priorities, working at multiple scales from reservoir to watershed, and sharing the load through partnerships. It is a 20-page booklet available for download (pdf). Click here to download the guide.
